G-Bucks, similarly to Sklansky Dollars, are an accurate way of estimating range.

Example 3c1ox

To use the G-Bucks concept, you first need to understand Sklansky Dollars. Simply put, to track how many Sklansky Dollars you win, you look at the percentage chance you had to win a given hand when the money went in the preflop with AA vs. QQ and lose a $20K pot, you lost $10K in real dollars, however you won roughly $8K in Sklansky Dollars because you should win the hand about 80% of the time.

range into consideration, so something like 88+, AJs+, AQo+. Keeping ranges in mind, you can move on to a more specific example:

Let's say you're playing a $25-$50 NL calls.

Using all-in with this range and get called by KJo. Here is the monetary interpretation:

Real Dollars: You lost the pot, so you lost $500 real dollars.

Sklansky Dollars: TT is a 56% favorite vs. KJo, so $1000 (the pot) x .56 is $560 - $500 (your initial investment in the pot) = $60 Sklansky Dollars.

G-Bucks: As calculated, your range is 66% against KJo which means that on average, you win $660 from the $1000 pot, or $160 G-Bucks.

A More Practical Example 1z4h15

Let's say you get dealt JdJs on the bets $1825. So, how can G-Bucks help you here?

Well, first you must assign your opponent a reasonable range for fold, as you only beat one of his possible holdings, but for the sake of G-Bucks the numbers are as follows:

Board: Qs 8h 4c 3s 3h - {JdJs} = 6.3%, {QQ+, AsKs} = 93.7%

So, using G-Bucks, you can calculate that on average, fold.
